Sharks Don’t Sleep Episode 3: Cynthia Wigren, Atlantic White Shark Conservancy

We love hearing the stories of entrepreneurs and leaders who broke away from traditional career paths in favor of following their passions. That’s one of the reasons we were so excited to chat with Cynthia Wigren, founder of Atlantic White Shark Conservancy.

Cynthia founded the Conservancy in 2012 after a career in online trading for energy companies to pursue a newfound love for white sharks. Learn more about her story, why she’s so passionate about white sharks, and what we can do to safely share the waters with them.
